Set apropriate sysctl (compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16). as far as I am informed fc6@2.6.16 will try to use openat() which does not exist in -CURRENT yet (it's in perforce) so I'd suggest set the osrelease to 2.6.15 instead... I hope to get openat() commited soon to src.. anyone willing to commit it? :) roman
